does glucose act as a hypoglycaemic?e.g in treatment of diabetic hypoglycaemia?!
Question:
hypoglycaemia is low blood sugar level.
Answers:
Glucose is a hyperglycemic it increases the BGL. It is used for diabetic hypo. In normal people this increase in glucose level stimulates insulin so the level falls. Its a balance between insulin, lowering blood glucose and other hormones like glucagon, adrenalin,steroids which increase the glucose level. Insulin is absent or low or ineffective in Diabetics so there is hyperglycemia. in diabetes--hypo occurs when you take the pill or shot and dont have food. the blood sugar falls dangerously low and the patient faints. The brain needs glucose 24*7. if there isnt glucose for 8 min or so there will be brain damage. In that case u give glucose IV and/or glucagon.

no, glucose is sugar so excessively it will amount in hyperglycaemia. Hyper = high. Therefore glucos will make your sugar levels soar, rather than plummet (hypo)
. must be used in treatment of diabetic hypoglycaemia
. doesn't act as a hypoglycaemic whatever
. can't be used in treatment of diabetic hyperglycaemia
Hypoglycemia means lowered blood glucose level. Diabetic hypoglycemia is a state of low blood glucose due to diabetes. Giving glucose will increase and NOT decrease blood glucose.
